With the widespread accessibility of modern-day pornography, it's critical to educate youth on the harmful effects of pornography. This conversation doesn't have to be awkward or difficult. In fact, it can be empowering and hopeful if addressed appropriately. At Fight the New Drug we've spent years educating hundreds of thousands of teens around the world, and we've learned a lot about how to cover this topic in a way that will connect with teens. In this breakout, we'll discuss the current research around the harms of pornography and explore ways to address this topic appropriately and effectively in and out of the classroom.
